I thought I had forgotten to bring a brush while I was out of town, went to ULTA where they had a large selection. It turns out, did have my own, so didn't use this but it would have worked, as it was right size and right texture of bristles

Okay brush, but I would not purchase again. This is the first round brush I bought and next time I will definitely go with a different brush. While it is absolutely wonderful at straighten my hair, it broke on me before I could even use it (actually I was still in the car). I bought it and I was driving home and then I picked up the brush and it had fell apart. So I took it back since ULTA is by my house. Keep in mind this is no longer than 15 minutes ago. So I took it back but I had no idea where I put the receipt (I was only in my car I guess the car ate it or something), and the cashier(who must have been new) told me I could not exchange (for the exact same thing)it despite the purchase showing up on my ULTA card. So I was like okay let me go find the receipt. The next day I called and they let me exchange it without the receipt. But anyways back to the brush, I am African-Caribbean with thick course natural hair, and it worked for me. I do not use it everyday. The only time I use it, is when I wash my hair and probably like once a week to straighten my edges. It works wonders on me for my edges all I do is brush them with this brush and BAM! flat edges, no flat iron or nothing else just this brush. I have had it about 3 weeks now, and it is holding up pretty good. When it does break thought I will probably purchase a more expensive one. I was being cheap this time because it was my first and I had to see if I liked it or not. Next time I will remember you get what you pay for.
